Assessment Centres

Assessment centres are an extended period of interviews, assessed tasks and assessment exercises, organized by Competence HR for small groups of candidates (usually between six and 20 people), however, we do have experience of assessing 500 candidates for graduate level entry positions over a period of a few days. Assessment centres are used to find out how candidates perform in various situations, in particular group situations, which are often modelled on real life work-based scenarios. They are most frequently used by large graduate employers who want to hire a relatively large number of people for a similar job role, such as a graduate scheme but can also be used for senior positions when a more methodical and scientific approach is required to your selection process. Competence HR can assist you in determining the right assessments for the given vacancy and all the administration and organisation regarding the assessment centre. The assessment centre will incorporate various stages which may include competency interviews, behavioural interviews, technical interviews, aptitude tests, personality tests, psychometric testing, presentation exercises and other individual exercises and group exercises. These will all be determined based on the vacancy you are looking to fill.
